The old days are gone, and it’s harder to get our hands on the old games that we played as kids. They live on in online services like Nintendo Switch Online. According to Engadget, Nintendo just released two classic Zelda titles to the Switch Online service.
The Nintendo Switch online service seems to be pretty popular. While not as robust as what you’d find with Playstation or Xbox, the subscription offers a wide selection of games from past consoles. Fans are able to relive titles from systems such as the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and the SEGA Genesis.
If you’re interested in getting a plan, the standard plan costs $3.99/month ($19.99/year). However, the Online+ plan offers more features. The N64 and Genesis games are only available on this plan. It costs $49.99/year.

Imagine this: it’s 2001. You’re on a long road trip; “Who Let The Dogs Out” is blasting on the radio, and you’re tapping away on your Game Boy Color. If you were a Zelda fan, then you would have been playing these games on your hardware.
The first game on the list is The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. In this game, Link is on a journey to rescue the Oracle of Seasons from the clutches of General Onox.
The other game is called The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. In this game, the evil sorceress Veran possesses the Oracle of Ages and uses her powers to go back in time and enact her evil plans.
These are great games to play, especially if you’re not familiar with the Zelda games for the portable consoles. Also, if you need a break from games centering around rescuing Princess Zelda. They’re available to play today, so you won’t have to wait. Just make sure your app is up to date and start playing.
